How to cook Upo Fried Lumpia:

  • Grate upo coarsely or slice finely. Leave in a colander and allow to drain.

  • In a saucepan, saute garlic and onions. Add pork and saute until brown. Add shrimp and oyster sauce then saute. Pour the shrimp broth and simmer until sauce is reduced.
  • Add in the upo and stir. Simmer for about 10 minutes until the liquid that comes from the upo is reduced and mixture is dry.

  • Roll tucking in both ends. Seal other side by moistening wrapper.
  • Deep fry on boiling fat until golden brown.
